This novel was mistitled it should have been written as "Peerless mu*derer System". It is a story about a soulless engineer who suddenly receives a system after the son of his company's owner steals his girlfriend. He goes from a boring guy who just meekly lets things happen in his life (for instance his girl being taken, being mistreated by his friends and family, etc) to a man who kills or maims anyone that crosses his bottom line, which includes anyone he disagrees with such as family, former friends, former lovers, coworkers, police officers, gangsters, government officials, the military, anyone from a country that isn't China, etc.By the time you read to chapter 531, where I am at in the story, he has killed or injured well over a thousand people. To put that in perspective Jack the Ripper one of history's most notorious serial killers only killed 5 women. Let that sink in a bit...The main character is able to master all skills such as computer hacking, dancing, musical instruments, calligraphy, operating any vehicle, mastering any sport including martial arts thanks to his system which has granted him an endless pool of points to spend thanks to his being able to post snappy comebacks on social media (not a joke) and maim or mu*der people that slightly annoy him.The biggest issue with this novel is how this soulless mu*der machine separates friends from enemies and lovers from women it's ok for him to brutalize. The male and female characters marked as a friend are characters who provide the soulless mu*der machine with tangible benefits for no expectation of quid pro quo. The female characters marked as lovers are all virg*nal women willing to pine for the mu*der machine but not force him to express anything like affection or have expectations of intimacy. Males and females unwilling to do these things cross the mu*der machine's bottom line which leads to their doom.To sum it up, this novel sucks.
